Immediately after a crash, check for injuries and move to safety if possible. Call 911 to get medical help and police documentation, and exchange information with other involved parties. Do not admit fault at the scene. Immediately contact your own insurer to report the incident. Seek medical care even if you feel fine, as some injuries become apparent later. Keep records of all medical visits, bills, and related expenses.
In California, most personal injury cases must be filed within two years of the accident. There are exceptions for government claims and certain injury types, so it’s important to consult promptly to protect your rights. Missing deadlines can bar your claim, even if you have a strong case.
You are not required to hire a lawyer, but having one can help you understand options, navigate complex insurance issues, and pursue full compensation. An attorney can evaluate your case, negotiate with insurers, and advise on the best path forward.
Fault is typically determined from police reports, eyewitness statements, scene photos, vehicle damage, and medical records. Insurance adjusters consider these factors to assign liability and estimate damages. In some cases, fault may be disputed and require further investigation or legal action.
Damages can include economic losses like medical expenses and lost wages, as well as noneconomic losses such as pain and suffering. In some cases, future medical costs and long-term impact on earning capacity may be recoverable.
Bring the crash report, police contact, medical records, receipts, insurance information, photos, and a list of witnesses. Having documentation helps our team assess your claim accurately and move forward efficiently.
Most personal injury settlements are not taxable as compensation for physical injuries. Some interest earned on settlements or certain penalties may have tax implications, so consult a tax professional for specifics.
Case durations vary widely depending on injuries, claim complexity, and insurer cooperation. Some matters settle within months, while others may take years, especially if a trial is needed.
If the other driver is uninsured, you may rely on uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage if available, or pursue recovery from other liable parties. An attorney can help identify options and maximize any recoveries.
You can attempt to handle a claim on your own, but many people benefit from professional guidance to navigate negotiations, documentation, and deadlines and to avoid costly mistakes.
